Frends

Product overview

Frends is an enterprise integration platform built in Finland, used by IT departments, municipalities, and operations teams in mid-to-large organizations, particularly in the Nordics and across Europe. The platform supports application integration, workflow automation, API management, and B2B/EDI data exchange through a low-code visual designer based on the BPMN 2.0 standard. Frends connects cloud and on-premises systems and supports hybrid deployment, meaning organizations can run integration agents in their own infrastructure while managing them from the cloud. The company was originally founded in 1988 as an automation engineering firm and evolved into a dedicated iPaaS provider serving over 6,000 customers across 16 countries, including the City of Helsinki, Fazer, and Eltel Networks. Frends is one of only two European vendors recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Integration Platform as a Service, ranked there for two consecutive years. It is currently part of HiQ International AB, a Swedish technology group. Pricing is process-based starting at €950 per month, with no per-transaction fees, making costs predictable for organizations running many integrations. KEY FEATURES: - Low-code BPMN 2.0 visual integration designer - Hybrid deployment with cloud management and on-premises integration agents - API management portal for publishing and governing APIs - B2B and EDI integration support for partner data exchange - ISO 27001 certified with customer-selectable hosting regions
